Miriam was right, science is an atrocity.

>He doesn't start as the pirates and build an undisturbed empire while the rest squabble over land and resources

>SMACX factions

Human Hive is best faction. Transcend human limitation.

>And the Lord God said, "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever, we must send him forth." Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

It never cease to amaze me how they've picked a single film, tweaked editing a bit and BAM! instant cutscenes that fit like a glove.

KOF98

Because all the hardcore strategy/micromanagement autists moved over to Grand Strategy games.

THOUGHT CONTROL POLICE STATE

It would be just like UK

That looks like shit though

Well, Alpha Centauri is pretty hard sci-fi, and its directly inspired by Frank Herbert novels, pretty sure that's where you get the idea of tech quotes.
I wonder if sci-fi game writers these days even bother to read the more hard side of the genre.
I mean, the political stuff is fine, but you gotta balance it out.

Because the vidya companies don't know why AC was so good. Even when they go out of their way to rip it off, they don't get it. You get shit like Beyond Earth, that lacks all the sense of wonder and carving your own destiny AC had.
